Over time, the temporary files tend to increase to great numbers and slow down the overall performance of the system. The Disk cleaning utility thoroughly removes all of the temp files and helps increase system performance.

ReadyBoost

ReadyBoost is a feature by which the performance of the system increases because of increase in physical RAM of the system. With the ReadyBoost feature, users can use any normal USB drive and use it as additional RAM to supplement the on-board RAM. The ReadyBoost feature can be used as and when required (especially for memory intense tasks) and the performance of the system can be increased without changing the hardware or the software.

This would cause new data to be stored in disorganized manner.
